The concrete nouns They are those that name a material element, and therefore tangible and perceptible to the senses. For example: car, rack, dog.
They are opposed to abstract nouns, which are those that name non-tangible elements, such as feelings, emotions or ideas. For example: wisdom, hope.
The concrete nouns are within the category of common nouns and conform to the morphosyntactic rules of the noun: they agree in gender and number with the adjective and the verb.

Current discussion
Many linguists object to the definition of a concrete noun based on people's sensory perception, since the same concrete noun can generate different mental representations in different people.
For example, no one doubts that the noun table is a specific noun, but some may represent in their mind when hearing this word a round table with a single foot, others a rectangular one and others a plastic one, which shows that it does not define a single material element, but ultimately a concept.
The concrete noun, in that sense, is also opposed to the proper noun, which does refer to a unique entity.For example: Pablo, Gabriel, Buenos Aires, Paris.
